No - not at all. I think some teams will skip their #5 if it sets up their pitching for a team like the Sox or the Phillies (maybe not this year).
But let's not fool ourselves. Teams are gunnin' for the Yankees a lot more than they're gunnin' for other teams.

I don't think that happens very often anymore. Maybe when there's a day off and it's late in the season.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.
